This wall delivers a distinct message that every Henderson athlete gets: LION PRIDE NEVER DIES. Henderson High School football coach Clay Baker (below), himself a former Lion, is re-instilling that in his football team each and every day, planning a return to playoff glory.

Football practice begins across the state of Texas on Monday, and that means intensity. No one that we know is more intense than Kilgore High School coach Clint Fuller (above), who has led the Ragin' Red four rounds deep into the UIL Class 4A, Division I playoffs the last two seasons, and to two outright district championships in three seasons as head coach. ETBlitz.com is proud to cover all of its area high schools, and that would be Kilgore, Henderson, Sabine, Gladewater, White Oak, Tatum, West Rusk, Arp, Troup, Overton, and Leverett's Chapel. And we also cover Kilgore College athletics, as well. (File photo by MITCH LUCAS - ETBLITZ.COM)

Kilgore College head football coach Willie Gooden (right) and Navarro head coach Ryan Taylor laughed, along with the rest of the media in the room, as the "X-Files" theme played (someone's ring tone) when Gooden approached the podium Thursday at SWJCFC Media Day at Hollytree Country Club in Tyler. "That's about right," one coach laughed, and Gooden owned the next 10 minutes, as he normally does when he speaks. It's moments like this that make working in sports fun -- the "toy department of life," as ETBlitz.com editor/publisher Mitch Lucas calls it. (ETBLITZ.COM PHOTO)
